Biden Wants A Two-State Solution But Notes It Is Not Possible Now.

With thousands dead in Israel and Gaza in the aftermath of Hamas' deadly attack, President Biden believes there's still a path toward a two-state solution.

He said Hamas, the terrorist organization behind the Oct. 7 attack in Israel, needs to be eliminated, but that there needs to be a Palestinian state. Given last weekend's terrorist attacks, President Biden says a two-state solution is not possible right now.

Once you recognize that

Russia funded Trump so he could destroy the U.S.

Funded George Santos to create chaos

Rooted for Tuberville so he could undermine our military

Supported Greene & Boebert so they’d incite a coup

Dear God, A Reliable GOP Donor to Trump and DeSantis Attempted a Murder/Suicide.

A Republican activist who has been a reliable donor to Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — despite a racist tweet that put him on the outs with DeSantis’ predecessor, Rick Scott — shot a woman and then himself in the parking lot of a Palm Beach County restaurant, according to sheriff’s deputies. The activist, 72-year-old Steve Alembik, died. The woman, wounded in the back and arm, survived when she ran into the restaurant bleeding and was rushed to the hospital.

Elon Musk’s social network X — formerly known as Twitter — announced on Tuesday that new users would be charged $1 a year to make posts and use other key features on the platform.

Within this test, existing users are not affected.”

The Schist Disk, uncovered by renowned British Egyptologist Brian Walter Emery while excavating the tomb of Prince Sabu, son of Adjuib Pharaoh, governor of the First Dynasty (circa 3000 BCE), was found among some common funerary objects. The method used to craft the Schist Disk remains unknown. It continues to confound craftsmen even after two centuries. It looks like a chariot hubcap to me.

If confirmed, the attack on the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City it would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008.

I cannot believe I am writing this. A hospital was bombed in Gaza. Palestinian ministry of health reports 500 dead. Hospitals are not just treating the wounded, they are also housing 1000s of displaced. Earlier today an UNRWA school housing the the displaced was hit. - Arwa Damon

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said the House will vote again to elect a new speaker Tuesday, after he lost the contest by more votes than initially expected—but it’s still not clear whether he has enough backers to win in the second round.

At this moment Jordan supporters are asking themselves why they're going through the rigmarole of a vote at all? Why can't a mob can't just storm the place and declare Jordan speaker? - Driftglass
